Fantasy Football waiver wire pickups, Week 12: Cam Newton is back

Wide receivers to target on the fantasy football Week 12 waiver wire

1. Elijah Moore, New York Jets

Seriously, stop playing around with this one.

Moore has been explosive and productive the last four weeks, racking up 31 targets in his last four games with 24 receptions and four touchdowns.

He’s only rostered in 21.2 percent of NFL.com fantasy leagues, which indicates there’s almost an 80 percent change people in your league haven’t been paying attention.

2. Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears

Fantasy football managers have been understandably frustrated with Chicago Bears players this season, but with Andy Dalton under center, there might be a bit more predictability in the passing game.

Darnell Mooney is a must-add right now as he is rostered in just 42.4 percent of NFL.com leagues. He’s coming off of a huge game against Baltimore that could have been even bigger with a whopping 16 targets and only five receptions. He still had 121 yards and a touchdown.

3. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Green Bay Packers

There’s a bit of a risk here because sometimes the Green Bay Packers‘ receivers can be like Patriots running backs. Outside of Davante Adams, it’s tough to know who’s going to command Aaron Rodgers’ attention on a week-to-week basis.

If you’re feeling lucky, Valdes-Scantling had 123 yards and a touchdown this past week, as well as a couple of red zone targets.

4. Kendrick Bourne, New England Patriots

The New England Patriots as a team have been on fire lately, and Kendrick Bourne has been a catalyst for their offense.

Bourne ranks 29th on NFL.com among wide receivers and is only rostered in 14.7 percent of leagues.

He might not go for 100 yards per week, but he’s catching just about everything thrown his way and he’s a sneaky threat to go off against a battered Titans team.
